Peanut Color Sortor Design Based On TCS230 Color Sensor

Peanut color sorters are intelligent sorting equipment which are used for purifying milk-white peanut and removing heterochrosis impurities in the agricultural products. It's automated detection systems that integrate optoelectronics, optics, micro-computer in one machine. Its application has replaced the manual sorting peanuts, reduced labor intensity, ensured the accuracy of the sorting, and greatly improved the automation of the production. It has a broad market prospects. The device has played a catalytic role on the development of other agrictural soring equipment.Peanut color sorters based on TCS230 color sensor are detected by the light that reflected by the peanut's surface which is shined by LED light. And TCS230 color sensor system analysis the object whether an impurity or not. Then judging the results of the analysis, microcomputer control pneumatic solenoid valve, using high pressure on the impurity material to spray out, and achieve the purpose of sorting foreign bodies.As different with the current market widespread use of peanut color sorters which are based on CCD/CMOS sensor. This paper detailed describes and designs the structureontology of the peanut color sorter based on TCS230 color sensor. First paper describes the scientific significance and prospects of developing this color sorter, gives the overall color sorter machine design, and then introduces two body design & two devices's analysis and application. According to the characteristic size of peanut shape, we improve peanuts electromagnetic vibration feeder which is suitable for this topic on the basis of existing electromagnetic feeder, it can make peanuts quantitative, uniform, continuous flow when feeding. And in order to meet the send sorting sports agency, we increase cycle mobile function under the base of the electromagnetic bibrating feeder. Combining the characteristics of TCS230 color sensor, we have designed a send sorting sports agency to facilitate the TCS230 color sensor testing each peanut's surface color, and this can improve accuracy. Also analysised and introduced the detection principle and way of the TCS230 color sensor system, by way of experiment we obtained some conclusions. Finally, introduced the function of sorting implementation device-pneumatic solenoid valve, and discussed the frequently problems during used.While this paper detailed designed the peanut sorter machine based on TCS230 color sorter, also analysised and designed control, inspection and other related techniques. Make sensing and measurement applied to the subject of disciplinary machinery products, and make this subject achieved the optical and electrical integration to the modern market requirements, and this has some theoretical and practical value.
